The problem of anemia is seen in children who are born prematurely and children who are very weak at birth. In this disease, a sufficient number of red blood cells are not produced in the body, due to which there is a loss of blood.

After birth, there is a lack of blood in the body of some children. This problem persists even for a few years. The lack of blood in the body is called anemia. Anemia problem is seen more in children than in adults. A variety of symptoms are seen in children suffering from anemia. It is necessary to identify and treat them on time. This is also of three types. Mild, Moderate, and Severe. It depends on the level of hemoglobin in the child’s body. If hemoglobin is around 10 to 11 g/dL then it is mild anemia. 8 to 9 g/dL is moderate and if hemoglobin is less than 8 g/dL, then it is a dangerous stage. In this situation, the child needs an immediate blood transfusion.

According to doctors, in many cases this disease can also be due to genetic reasons, that is, if someone has a family history of anemia, then this disease can also be passed from parent to child. If someone in the family has had leukemia or thalassemia disease, then the chances of developing anemia in the child increase by 50 to 60 percent. In such cases, the symptoms of this disease start showing in the child only after the birth.
